Narrative:
The xfw/dfw TRACON letter of agreement was changed. One paragraph of the LOA was omitted, eliminating required coordination on propeller aircraft in a south flow. Without a LOA coordination, there should have been coordination on each aircraft. Without individual coordination on each aircraft, there was an airspace deviation. There is no way to tell how many aircraft deviated dfw TRACON airspace.
